Bag Structure Containing Cooked Tapioca Pearls and Impregnated Liquid

ABSTRACT

A bag structure includes a packaging bag, a plurality of cooked tapioca pearls and an impregnated liquid. The packaging bag has an interior provided with a receiving space. The packaging bag has a top end provided with an air draining section connected to the receiving space. The air draining section has an outer end provided with an adhering strip and a diaphragm. The diaphragm is located above the adhering strip and forms an air vent hole to drain hot air and to prevent the packaging bag from being exploded. The cooked tapioca pearls and the impregnated liquid are filled into the packaging bag, and the packaging bag is heated by microwaves or boiling water for diet.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a bag structure and, more particularly,to a bag structure containing cooked or boiled tapioca pearls and animpregnated liquid.

2. Description of the Related Art

A conventional technique of processing tapioca pearls comprises heatingwater in a pot until the water is boiled, pouring raw tapioca pearls inthe boiling water until the raw tapioca pearls are cooked, and coolingthe cooked tapioca pearls until the cooked tapioca pearls are chilled.Thus, the cooked tapioca pearls are edible. However, when the cookedtapioca pearls are placed during a long period of time or stored in therefrigerator, the cooked tapioca pearls are hardened easily and lose thesoft taste. In addition, the cooked tapioca pearls only have a singletaste, so that the consumers are easily tired of the fixed taste duringa long time of diet.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

For solving the problems of the traditional method of processing the rawtapioca pearls, the primary objective of the present invention is toprovide a bag structure containing cooked tapioca pearls that areimmersed in an impregnated liquid which has diverse flavors, so that thecooked tapioca pearls have different tastes by the impregnated liquid toprovide a fresh sensation to the consumer. The cooked tapioca pearls andthe impregnated liquid are filled into the packaging bag and are sealed.The packaging bag is frozen rapidly for storage. When the frozenpackaging bag is defrosted by boiling water or by microwaves, the cookedtapioca pearls are edible right away.

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a bagstructure comprising a packaging bag, a plurality of cooked tapiocapearls and an impregnated liquid. The packaging bag has an interiorprovided with a receiving space. The packaging bag has a top endprovided with an air draining section connected to the receiving space.The air draining section has an outer end provided with an adheringstrip and a diaphragm. The diaphragm is located above the adhering stripand forms an air vent hole for exhaust, to drain hot air duringmicrowaving. The cooked tapioca pearls and the impregnated liquid arefilled into the packaging bag, and the packaging bag is heated bymicrowaves for diet.

Preferably, the packaging bag has a seal opening and is heated directlyby hot water.

Preferably, the impregnated liquid contains syrup, extracted plantliquid or juice puree.

Preferably, the impregnated liquid is added with fruit pulps.

Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will becomeapparent after a careful reading of the detailed description withappropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to the drawings and initially to FIG. 1, a bag structure 1 inaccordance with the preferred embodiment of the present inventioncomprises a packaging bag 10, a plurality of cooked tapioca pearls 11and an impregnated liquid 12. The packaging bag 10 has an interiorprovided with a receiving space 100. The packaging bag 10 has an endface (or a top end face) provided with an air draining section 101connected to the receiving space 100. The air draining section 101 hasan outer end provided with an adhering strip 1010. The adhering strip1010 has an upper end provided with a diaphragm 1011. The cooked tapiocapearls 11 are made of raw tapioca pearls that are cooked or boiledpreviously. The impregnated liquid 12 contains syrup, extracted plantliquid or juice puree. Alternatively, the impregnated liquid 12 containsfruit pulps 120.

Referring to FIG. 2, the cooked tapioca pearls 11 and the impregnatedliquid 12 are placed into the packaging bag 10 and received in thereceiving space 100 of the packaging bag 10. Then, the packaging bag 10is packed and sealed. The top end face of the packaging bag 10 isprovided with the air draining section 101. The outer end of the airdraining section 101 is provided with the adhering strip 1010. The upperend of the adhering strip 1010 is provided with the diaphragm 1011.Preferably, the diaphragm 1011 has a circular shape, and a shorterdistance is defined between the diaphragm 1011 and the adhering strip1010.

Referring to FIG. 3, the bag structure 1 is initially disposed at afrozen state. Then, the bag structure 1 is placed into and heated byboiling water of a pot 2 until the bag structure 1 is thawed completely.Thus, the user directly opens the bag structure 1 for diet.

Referring to FIG. 4, when the packaging bag 10 is heated or pressurizedby microwaves, hot air with high pressure is produced in the receivingspace 100 of the packaging bag 10 to inflate the packaging bag 10. Whenthe packaging bag 10 is expanded, the air draining section 101 isexpanded simultaneously.

Referring to FIG. 5, the air draining section 101 is expanded after thepackaging bag 10 is expanded. At this time, the adhering strip 1010 ofthe air draining section 101 is squeezed by the high-pressure hot airand forms a breach, and the diaphragm 1011 is stretched and opened bythe high-pressure hot air, so that the diaphragm 1011 is connected tothe breach of the adhering strip 1010, and forms an air vent hole 1012which drains the excessive high-pressure hot air to an ambient space toachieve a pressure release function, thereby preventing the packagingbag 10 from being exploded during the heating process. After thepackaging bag 10 is heated by microwaves, the packaging bag 10 isopened, and the user directly eats the cooked tapioca pearls 11 in thepackaging bag 10.

Accordingly, the raw tapioca pearls are cooked previously to make thecooked tapioca pearls 11, and the cooked tapioca pearls 11 and theimpregnated liquid 12 are filled into the packaging bag 10. The cookedtapioca pearls 11 are immersed in the impregnated liquid 12 whichaffords different tastes to the cooked tapioca pearls 11. The packagingbag 10 is frozen rapidly for storage. When in diet, the frozen packagingbag 10 is defrosted by boiling water or by microwaves, and the cookedtapioca pearls 11 have good taste after thawing.

Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferredembodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many otherpossible modifications and variations can be made without departing fromthe scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated thatthe appended claim or claims will cover such modifications andvariations that fall within the scope of the invention.
